This invention relates to a 'perpetual` cali endar, the Q general object4of the invention being to provide a body part having a numf ber ofwindows therein arranged in 'an arc of a circle and located above anumber of transverse rows of Aiigures, which `indicate the days of themonth, with a diskrotatably connected with the body part and having thedays of the week printed thereon so that by adjusting the disk, the daysof the week can be properly arranged abovevthewrows of figuresindicating the days of the month.

Another object of the inventionA is to provide means whereby one canascertain what day of the week any dates of af month falls on for use inadvance,and also forV years 1n the past. v

This invention also consists in certain other features of constructionand in the combinal' tion and arrangement'of the several parts, to behereinafter ullyrdescribed, illustrated in the accompanying drawings andspecilically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to theaccompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or-corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figurelis a face view of the invention.

Fig. 2 is a rear view thereof.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of the lower part of Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 is an edge view.

Fig. 5 is a fragmentary view of the chart carried by the two reels.

Fig. 6 is a section on line 6`6 of Fig. 1.

In these drawings, the numeral 1 indicates the body of the calendarwhich is formed of cardboard or the like, and contains a space 2 on itsfront face for receiving advertising matter or the like and below thisspace is an arcuate row of windows 3 and below the windows is arectangular space provided with a plurality of squares 4 which containthe days of the month as shown at 5. Below the base is a pocket 6 whichcontains a window for exposing the slips 7 which contain the names ofthe various months it of course being understood that each slip has aday of the month thereon, so that by placing the proper slip at thefront ofthe pocket Vthe name of themonth thereon will be exposed through'thewindow y 'A A disk Seis located at the rear of the body andisfastened to the rear end of the rknob 9Vwhich is rotatably arranged inthe bod)7 and said disk carriers the names of the days of the weeks asshown at 10, these names being so arranged that they will appear at thewindows 3 as shown in Figl vl. By rotating the disk, the names of thedays of the week can be arranged in proper relation to'thjc dates of themonth.V v '--For instance, as shownin F ig.` l, the date inthe iirstvertical column of figures will be Sunday, but if the second day ofthemonth should come on a Sunday, the disk could be turned so as to placethe Sunda 'indication over the second column and o course the Mondayindication would come over the iirst 'V column. A i Y fLips 1v1 areformed "on the periphery of the disk8 for engaging' a stop 12 on theVrearpart ofthe body for limiting the movepent of the disk 8 andathermometer 13 vill bev attached to the front ofthe body.V

Elongated` slots 14 and`15 are formed in the lower end yof the body andtwo reels'or rolls 16 arejournalled in a small casing17 and Vattached totherear face ofthe body at the lower end thereof, and the ends of asheet' 18 are fastened yto these rolls. Such sheet carries the charts 19and 20, the chart 19, having'portions thereof visible through the slot15 andthe 'chart 20 thru the slot 14. 85 Each roll has a knob 21attached thereto located outside of the casing so that either roll lcanbeturned. v v, The chart 19V has a vertical row of figures thereonindicating years as shown at 22 and 9G opposite eachtigure is a row offigures shown ait'23, these'iigures being index numbers for indicia' onchart 20. This chart 20 is divided intoa plurality of vertical columns,eachof which contains data indicating the days of 9* the week asshownat` 24 and opposite each weekday` indication' is a number 25indicating a-dayof themonth. l

two fchartsware so formed,` that by turning the sheet to bring anyVdesired number indicating a year into view at the slot 15 and thenfinding a month, a day of Which is to be ascertained, for that year,through means of the month indicating characters 26 on the body abovethe slot 15, `the index member of said month of that year can beascertained.

For instance, if one Wishes to ascertain what day of the Week July 4,1902, came on,

vhe Would turn the sheet to bring the year date 1902 into view at theslot 15 and then he would read along the charactersV 26and find theletter J indicating July. Under this letter he Would nd the numeral 2.This is the index number for the chart l20 visible through the slot 14which has the reference numerals 27 thereover. I-Ie Wouldvthen turn Ythe sheet until the numeral 4, indicating the day of the month required,appears in the slot 14 under the column number 2 which was given by theindex number of chart ,19, which would give Friday the 4th.

It Will of course be understood that the data on chart 20 is arranged inaccordance with the index numbers of chart 19. These numbers indicatethe years.

A WindowT 28 isalso formed in the body above the slots 14 and 15 and aslide 29 is supported'in the guide 30 at the rear ofthe body, so thatnumerals on the slide will appear through the Window 28 when the slideis adjusted.

Thus it Will be seen'that I haye provided simple means for providing aperpetual calendar With means whereby the dayo a Week` on which fallsthedate of the month in past or future years can be ascertained throughmeans of a sheet containing a chart and having data thereon indicatingyears and index numbers thereon and a second chart divided into columns,each space of each column containing data giving the dayof the month andthe da of the Week arranged in accordance with t e index numbers on thefirst chart so as to give the information desired.

AIt is thought from the Aforegoing description that the advantages randnovel features of the invention Will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction andin the combina-V tion and arrangement'of ,the several parts providedthatsuch changes fall Withinthe scope of the appended claims.

' Having thus described my invention, WhatJ I claim as new is :-v v
